When clients use adjacent shifts in separate work areas, the reporting is not correct if the employee does not clock out and back in again during the shift.
For example:
The employee is scheduled from 09:00 - 10:00 for training in the Training work area before starting their "real" shift from 10:00 to 12:00.
09:00 - 10:00 > Training
10:00 - 12:00 > Kitchen Work
If the employee clocks in at 09:00 and clocks out at 12:00, we only have one time entry for this shift, and that time entry is linked to the Training work area.
The new functionality ensures that when clocking out, the time entry is split to match the adjacent work hours.
So, when clocking out, we will now have two time entries:
Clock-in time - 10:00 > Training
10:00 - Clock-out time > Kitchen Work
The setup needs to be activated by a Strobbo employee.
Afterwards, you can configure the setting according to your preferred use.
You can configure this via Settings - General.
Always: splits the time entry based on time only.
09:00 - 10:00 > Kitchen - Training
10:00 - 11:00 > Kitchen - Stove
11:00 - 12:00 > Dining room - Cleaning
Disabled: never splits a time entry.
09:00 - 12:00 > Kitchen - Training
Only when the workspace changes:
splits based on time and location difference.
09:00 - 11:00 > Kitchen - Training (takes the first location)
11:00 - 12:00 > Dining room - Cleaning
Only when the work area changes:
splits based on time and work area difference.
09:00 - 10:00 > Kitchen - Training
10:00 - 11:00 > Kitchen - Stove
11:00 - 12:00 > Dining room - Cleaning
When an employee has at least one break during their work shift, the system will check if those breaks need to be adjusted based on the split time entry mode in the general settings.
For example, if an employee works from 09:00-10:00 in Training and then from 10:00-12:00 in the Kitchen, with breaks from 09:45-10:15 and 10:45-11:00, the system initially places the breaks in the first time entry:
09:00 - 10:00 > Training
09:45 - 10:15 > Break
10:45 - 11:00 > Break
10:00 - 12:00 > Kitchen duty
This causes the breaks to misalign with the correct work periods. The system will then split and adjust the breaks:
09:00 - 10:00 > Training
09:45 - 10:00 > Break
10:00 - 12:00 > Kitchen duty
10:00 - 10:15 > Break
10:45 - 11:00 > Break
Here, the first break is split between the two time entries, and the second break is moved to the Kitchen duty entry.
